When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Brick and block movement joints

Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Arabella
Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. Most enquiries involve new external sealant already peeling away and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished, on sanitary and kitchen joints, window and door perimeters and cladding and panel joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Arabella first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In smaller places such as Arabella, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. Exposed elevations in Scotland put facade and perimeter joints to work from day one, so the sealant choice matters.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Use the product the specification names
Record which products went where in the handover file. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later, and tells you what to reseal with. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks, so we plan external work with that in mind.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
How the job changes by surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. A neat, consistent caulk line makes the decorators’ job quicker and keeps the snag list down.
Building and refurbishing in Arabella
Arabella lies within about 2 miles of the sea. On a coastal site, facade and perimeter joints face driven rain and, closer to the beach, salt, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. The west of Scotland, where Arabella is, gets more rain than the east. External mastic needs dry spells, with internal work ready to fill the wet days.
A facade joint near Arabella lasts when width, depth and backing are right, not just the finish. On any site in or around Arabella, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
Arabella is about 13 miles north of Nairn, in Highland. Any commercial site in Arabella is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places, from busy centres to rural villages.
We cover the IV19 postcode districts for mastic packages. We also cover Hill of Fearn (2 miles north-east), Fearn (2 miles north-east), Pitcalnie (2 miles south), Kildary (2 miles west) and Nigg (3 miles south). Bigger towns within reach include Nairn (13 miles south), Tain (4 miles north-west), Alness (10 miles south-west), Dornoch (9 miles north), Invergordon (8 miles south-west) and Fortrose (13 miles south). Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead, so the full address helps from the start.

Common questions from Arabella clients
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Arabella?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Can being near the sea in Arabella affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, ring 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Fire-rated sealant can be included where it’s specified, installed to the product’s tested detail. The design and sign-off belong to the designer, fire engineer or building control.
Do you guarantee new-build sealant work?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
